The Reckart Family Tree information contained here has been collected over forty years.  It has cost me over $15,000 in traveling to family reunions, court houses, cemeteries, homes, doing several mail-outs, telephone calls, and making several trips to Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, Indiana, and Florida.  I have spent many thousands of hours talking to families and individuals and then writing down and sorting the information.  Many hundreds of hours went into this computer data base that you are about to use. Yes, there are errors but with your help we can correct them.  Many names are missing simply because I do not have the information.  Please email me and I will be happy to add information to the data files.  I update the internet files only once every six month since it takes over three hours to do this.  I appreciate your visit and I hope you get a lot of excitement out of being able to trace your family back as far as we have information.
